UFC 72 Rich Franklin vs. Yushin Okami Forrest Griffin - Belfast, Ireland — Wed, 06 Jun 2007 08:51:09 +0000

[…] There are a lot of people grumbling about the upcoming UFC pay-per-view event, UFC 72 Victory: Rich Franklin vs. Yushin Okami. Some could be upset because at one point this event was said to be free even though there was no official release stating that it would be free. Despite the validity of these claims rumors burn through the internet and eventually become a fact people base things on. So people shouldn’t get upset that this event isn’t free for two reasons. The first reason being that it was never officially intended to be free, and two, this is going to be a really good UFC you just have to know why these fights are going to be good. […]

hey gord, when i saw your name…well now i understand…. umm, you dont seem like the type to APPRECIATE the intense training these fighters go through to bring these fights to you….SO PLEASE DONT WATCH THEM,meet your buddy at burger king in honor of your name!!

Hey Debbie, read these posts again. These people said, they are more than happy to pay $40 to watch a good card, just that they didn’t feel this card was werth it. No need to call them losers and lamebrains. Why are you so angry? You should go yell at Dana and Joe for making a lame card. In my post I was just trying to make a point at how stupid name calling is. I don’t think your a loser. Lastly what is with my name? (”when I saw your name” and “in honor of your name”) I don’t get it.

The card is always up for debate but i still dont think they should have led on that it was gonna be free than nope its PPV. Cuz ya get all hyped up that ya can watch it for free so if it sucks your not losing any money on it. 40 bucks may not be alot of dough to some but its hard for me to part with on a questionable PPV event.

[quote comment=”53001″]I dont know if anyone posted this yet. The reason it isnt free is because Spike didnt wanna televise it. They have been losing money ( well, not exactly, but I wont get into how TV advertising works ) on some recent UFC events and they’re getting killed with the current TUF. I think this is a way for Spike to say, we love you but dont treat us like a b1tch. I’ll try to find the source for that.

i just read the story on 5oz of pain. it sounds like the hbo deal is out also but espn is ready to take over in 08. so i think this will work out for the best for the ufc. it’s not like spike gets killer ratings on anything else they televise.

thats surprising. they may have to charge a little less for advertising, it’s not like the payouts are killing them.
